Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: mplayer
I have an HP/Compaq 6720s laptop with Ubuntu Feisty, which is up to
date.
Running mplayer or vlc to play a video seems to mess with the backlight
brightness setting - I usually have it a few stops down from maximum,
but both when the video starts playing, and again when the video window
closes, the backlight brightness is cranked up to maximum.
This doesn't happen with either Totem or gxine, however.
This happens in both fullscreen and windowed mode with most of the video
output modes. I've checked mplayer with x11, xv, sdl and gl backends and
it happens with all of these. (With the aa backend it doesn't,
however!)
Possibly related, but the brightness isn't saved, as it used to be in
Gutsy - I now have to adjust the brightness every time I log in.
